Dear Wiki authors,

Greetings be unto you.

Hollo is a name, a perfect noun if you explain it deeper in the English language. A name such as Hollo is the perfect sense of the Pedi tribes and origins is referred English as a noun (in Pedi as Leinaina or leina-ina)because it a perfect name without any due reference to a meaning such that found in verbs and so forth.

In Pedi however, Hollo (and most other names) would carry along with them a poetic meaning that goes with a poem of any length. Hollo as well has a poem attached to it. Such poetic sing alongs however with not be the same but rather less similar depending on the origin and the path walked by any Hollo name or character who is singing poetic praises of himself.

For example: Myself (as Hollo Mampane) would sing - Ke nna Morwaswi 'a Kanyane 'a Morwaswi le Selogadi, blah blah blah. Meaning (in English) that "I am a Morwaswi of Kanyane of Morwaswi" which is directly proportional to "I am the son of my father who has been fathered by his father whose name is same as mine". This happens because I am the son of my father (whose name is Ramashilo and poetic name is Kanyane), Ramashilo whose father in turn is named Hollo (whose poetic name is Morwaswi). And because I am named Hollo too, therefore my poetic name becomes automatically Morwaswi. And because I (Hollo / Morwaswi) am the son of my father (Ramashilo / Kanyane) whose father is my grandfather (Hollo / Morwaswi), and my grandfather whose wife is Ngwanangwato (poetic name: Selogadi); I can therefore refer to myself in my personalized African poetic oral as "I am Morwaswi wa Kanyane 'a Morwaswi le Selogadi" who come from Mogodumo being born of Bakgalaka ba legola, and this poem can continue for as long as the listener is able to listen depending on the praise singer's extent of knowledge of his/her origin in as far his/her grandparents and grand-grandparents and those that came before them is concerned. The poem along its depth would touch or detail on the heroic deeds that one's parents or grandparents (and so forth) have achieved as accolades in the military and the community and forth.

The heroic deeds obviously get attached to the places where they happened and friends and foes who were affected and/or had significant effects in such deeds happening or being successful plus varying contexts with rich poetic language content thereof.

In African poetic tradition which is often more oral than written, a poet is as great as their depth of knowledge about their origins and the context of their origins and all the people and animals that existed during those historic heroic settings. Often easier than said to put together one's praise song (poem) together and recite it without reading it elsewhere on a piece of paper. Poetry is more beautiful when it is recited without being read on paper displaying that the poet is reciting from the heart better than from a script.

In conclusion, "The African poetic tradition is oral" (I quote from a South African protest poet Mzwakhe Mbuli's famous political massive poetry of the seventies, eighties and nineties). Lines of poetry get floating in the sky if and when the poet is a natural poetic free spirited and recite their poetry from their heart and soul and flows like water in a river.

My name is Hollo Frans Mampane. Frans being my second name, often referred in South African context as one's Christian name. Christian name was a name given to a person when they get baptized in a Christian church. In South Africa, a child would get delivered (born) and be issued with a birth certificate only, without any Identity Document (ID) Number. This gave space during a child's baptism to be given a Christian name such bible names like Abraham, Joshua, Samuel, Jesaya, David and so on. A child would then be issued a Baptismal certificate would then be used to register the child later in crèche, primary and secondary school education. Such baptism certificate would later be used through Home Affairs Department to transfer now a teen's names onto their Identity Document (or passport).

@Wikipedia: I wish and hope I have added something to the context of the name Hollo as is my name as well. A few years ago when Wiki started, the name Hollo was nowhere to be found in your search engine but I see it is slowly but surely being beefed up. Glad to learn there exist many Hollo's as people across our beloved planet. When you started there was only a mention of some Italian Hollo who ever existed but alas, we are expanding. In South Africa, Hollo exist as both a name to some people and a surname to some. I am yet to research and establish how I may be related to all Hollo's who carry Hollo as a name and as a surname; be it relations only as Pedi people (within a tribe) or relations as Pedi's within a region in the Province.

Let me pause here...God bless you.

Sincerely,
